I am Iranian, and I support this petition. Millions of Iranians have been barred from entering the United States or living normal lives abroad due to the policies of the Islamic Republic. Why, then, are the families of Iranian government officials—who profit from repression and violence—allowed to live freely on U.S. soil while innocent people are being banned? Justice requires accountability, not privilege for those connected to power or to terrorist organizations.
Mohammed supported: Deport the Eissa Hashemi families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilI am writing to you as an Iranian who has spent my entire life opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). While living in Iran, I openly spoke out against this regime and repeatedly put my life at risk for standing on the side of freedom and human rights. Today, however, I am deeply disturbed to see individuals connected to the Islamic Republic and IRGC-affiliated families entering the United States with ease and living peacefully in the very country they publicly call their enemy.
Many of these families openly support a regime responsible for:
• The killing and execution of innocent civilians
• The killing of children and protesters
• Widespread human rights abuses
• State-sponsored terrorism
Even more alarming, some of these individuals have threatened Iranian dissidents and U.S. citizens abroad, yet they are allowed to live freely and safely inside the United States.
It is unacceptable that children are being killed in Iran while the families of those responsible enjoy safety, wealth, and freedom in America.
I respectfully urge Congress to:
• Investigate IRGC-linked individuals entering the United States
• Strengthen background checks for regime-affiliated applicants
• Enforce existing terrorism and sanctions laws
• Protect Iranian dissidents on U.S. soil
America must not become a safe haven for the families of those who terrorize the Iranian people.
Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter.
Melika supported: Deport the Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larij families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilAll my life, I have hated the Islamic regime and the IRGC. I openly expressed my hatred toward them and risked my life several times when I was in Iran.
When I applied for a U.S. visa, it took me two years to get approved. Now these people—whose fathers are enemies of America (and the whole world)—are easily coming to the U.S. and living peacefully in the very country they call their enemy. This is not fair. They should not be here.
Their families threaten U.S. citizens and Iranians who oppose them, so why are they allowed to come here and do whatever they want? They should be removed immediately.
They cannot kill our children in Iran while their own kids live here in peace and wealth.
Saeed supported: Deport the Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larij families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilI am Iranian and my people are suffering under the Islamic Republic. Families linked to that system enjoy freedom and safety abroad while ordinary Iranians are jailed, tortured and killed. I do not think it is fair that they benefit from a democracy they did nothing to stand up for. I support this petition and believe they should be returned to Iran.
Amin supported: Deport the Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larij families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilI've known Serigne Saliou since around 2015-2016, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most positively influential people l've ever met.
When I was a teenager struggling with confidence, he played a key role in helping me grow into the man I am today. He encouraged me to be disciplined, to step out of my comfort zone, and to lead with integrity-values I've carried with me into my professional and personal life.
Serigne Saliou is a guide, a mentor, and a role model-especially to the youth. He is well known across Texas and the broader North American Senegalese community for his peaceful demeanor, his beautiful recitation of religious prayers (Khassida of Serigne Touba), and his strong presence on social media and television. Multiple TV stations air his videos daily, and he has a large following online because of the purity and sincerity he represents.
If you search his full name on Google, he's the first to appear—always in the context of worship, community service, or uplifting others.
What's even more important to understand is that our community is not one where people commonly face criminal charges or detention. We come from a
peaceful, respectful tradition that values humility and faith. Serigne Saliou is a product of that culture-someone whose life has been an example of kindness, faith, and service. That's why his current detention has left so many of us heartbroken and confused
As someone who has achieved professional and personal success here in the United States, I can confidently say that Serigne Saliou is not just a community figure—he is a community pillar. He has never been involved in wrongdoing, and his character and contributions speak for themselves.
Serigne supported: Urge the Release of Serigne Saliou NdoyeSenegalese, especially the Murid, hold a special place in my heart. They saved my life by introducing me to Islam. I know firsthand many of these people who I love and know the values and morals they hold. Aside from character, it’s absolutely absurd and illegal to be charged with kidnapping or have legal status challenged because you won’t stop and let a passenger out in an unsafe spot all because they’re mad you don’t listen to music.
Abdullatif supported: Urge the Release of Serigne Saliou NdoyeJe me nomme Mame Thierno Faye, sénégalais et résidant au Canada depuis 2019. J’ai connu Serigne Saliou au Sénégal, aux Maristes. On n’a habité dans le meme quartier pendant plus de 8ans.
Serigne Saliou Ndoye a toujours été une personne dévouée et impliquée dans les actions sociales de quartier et de sa communauté. Son sourire et la première chose qu’on voit chez lui quand on le croise montrant un accueil chaleureux. Il est très instruit, correct, respectueux et responsable. De loin apres mon voyage pour poursuivre mes etudes on a toujours eu d’excellentes relations et cesse de me donner des conseils d’ami et de grand frère. Et, je ne suis pas la seule personne qui pourrait témoigner cela. Depuis son séjour aux États Unis il a participé activement aux activités de développement de la communauté sénégalaise vivant aux États Unis. C’est une personne dévouée, ambitieuse et n’hésite pas à oublier sa propre personne pour le bien de l’autrui.
Que le bon Dieu lui vienne en aide durant ces moments fi barakati Sheikhoul Khadim
Mame thierno supported: Urge the Release of Serigne Saliou NdoyeIn support of Serigne Saliou Ndoye who is an outstanding member of the Senegalese and Mouride Community of the United States. The accusations against him need to be fully investigated and as a human being his rights need to be respected and protected. The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, guarantees the right to a fair trial and includes provisions that protect individuals accused of crimes, including the right to a public and speedy trial, the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, and the right to be confronted with witnesses against them.
